Master Languages with Zabaan.

The whole Zabaan team was informative, patient, easy to work with. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Zabaan. I've taken classes at Zabaan during two trips to India, and I will be back. I have a decently large comparison set, having studied languages at universities and private language schools in the US, China, and India. In my experience, Zabaan stands out for its combination of teachers who know Hindi in depth but also have an incredibly profound and helpful meta-understanding of the language--things like grammar, syntax, and tone/context. The intro class has several teachers who rotate, which I found was a fantastic combination of native speakers (with obvious benefits as teachers) and non-native learners who have the unique insights that only outsiders can bring. For example, I was struggling with how to pronounce two of the t's in Hindi. Then one day, an Australian teacher taught me the difference between the two in a single insightful moment. Added bonus: The home-cooked lunches and chai are also fantastic. Highly recommend.

The masters of teaching Hindi in India! Zabaan holds a special place amongst language centers in India with its deep expertise in teaching Hindi/Urdu to foreigners. The teachers here are very intelligent and are so warm and engaging which enhances the experience when learning a new language. You can opt to study face-to-face in Delhi or online. Special thanks to Vartika, Jeevika and Tamana for their hard work and patience when teaching!

I have lived in India for 10 years of my life and struggled to learn Hindi that entire time. Thanks to Zabaan's online classes, I finally have an opportunity to learn Hindi properly. I have tried every other method: Teach Yourself Hindi, a personal tutor, learning from friends, Duolingo, Drops, and Rosetta Stone. None of these has even come close to my experience with Zabaan. The Zabaan teachers really know what they are doing.Hindi instruction for foreign language speakers is difficult. It requires teaching (and reteaching) the Devanagari alphabet, pronunciation, minimal pairs, and other basics that my past teachers considered too boring to engage with. It requires an incredible amount of patience, as foreign language students like myself will struggle with pronunciation, listening, and even basic grammar comprehension for many months. It also requires that the teacher is both (a) able to use multiple teaching methods attuned to the different learning styles of multiple students and (b) reach into a deep knowledge of Hindi, Urdu, and Sanskrit to answer peculiar questions about the language that other Indic-language speakers are unlikely to ask.Teachers at Zabaan have proven capable in all these skills. They make their classes interesting and engaging. The online classes mean I can continue my Hindi education with them regardless of which city or country I am currently in. This is the system of Hindi instruction I have been in search of for over a decade and I will happily recommend Zabaan to anyone I meet who wants to learn Hindi.
